"Hints of Big Little Lies season 3 started stirring in November 2023, when Nicole Kidman told a Neapolitan Q&A. "We will be bringing you a third one, just FYI," she said. This apparently got the actors a-clucking along with the fans. Reese Witherspoon chastised her co-producer for counting her chickens before they hatch, but understood the impulse. "It's okay, baby. I get excited too," she told Kidman in Vanity Fair."
"Speaking of hens a-cluckin', all the Big Little Liars were ringing up Witherspoon to see if there was really a season 3, or if Kidman was just On One. "I've got Laura [Dern] calling me, and Zoe [Kravitz] and Shailene [Woodley]," Witherspoon said. "They're all like, 'Nic said that we're making Big Little Lies season three?'" Seems likely that if these actors are getting name-dropped, they're on the call sheet. Noticeably absent? Meryl Streep and her fake teeth."
"Kidman told VF that Liane Moriarty, the author of the original BLL book, is writing the source material for s3. "We're moving fast and furious, and Lianeis delivering the book. Yeah, and we're in good shape," she said. Someone whose absence will definitely be felt this season is director Jean-Marc Vallée. Vallée passed in 2021, and his death was one of the things in the "never gonna happen" column for a potential s3. Who will take on this big little directorial task? We'll let you know."
Nicole Kidman ignited season 3 rumors in November 2023 by announcing a third installment. Reese Witherspoon reacted playfully while cautioning against premature confirmations. Several principal cast members, including Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Shailene Woodley, have shown interest or been mentioned, suggesting likely returns; Meryl Streep appears absent. Liane Moriarty is preparing the source material for season 3. Director Jean-Marc Vallée died in 2021 and will not return; a replacement director has not yet been named.
